Cousins


Not quite like siblings but cooler than peers
The people you party with, leaping through years
You hear the same stories and share family quirks
You plot crazy missions--and sometimes it works
It's never the same when one is not there
You're part of a gang fueled by jest and root beer
A cousin's a gift and a lively accomplice
To make family gatherings go cattywampus
Amid all the messes and times they may fight,
The cousin accord is a bond that is tight
